Funny reading some of these responses lol.......


I Have used the glowshift gauges...boost.oil pressure..temp for 3 years.

I have an omni 4 bar and am able to log boost. It matches right on the dot.
For the price, I think it's worth it.

This type of gauges are very cheap made and I do not recommend them. Why buy an Evo and go cheap on the parts. I know many will say "cause I don't have money to buy X brand". Well you should of tought about that before buying and Evo.

I would suggest saving your money and buying a good set and not waste money on these.

mine did the same and i switched to some different tubing that would collapse, but agreed that are crappy and i will switching to something else when i can afford it but for now it does a decent job

I have used glow shift and prosport gauges. Both gauges broke rather easily. I replaced with with autometer ultra lites. Which I eventually changed to defi's

i used to have glow shift in my subaru, Never let me down or broke. But i will say they are extremely hard to read during the daytime. Prosports are not much more money and easy to read in the day

my old evo came with one installed as well as the factory mitsubishi one, and it was dead on. i since have bought prosports for my new one, however they look exactly the same as the glow shift. to a t, im pretty sure theyre made in the same place in taiwan, china or whatever. almost everyone on here who hates em has never tried them and hates them cause they're not mad tyte jdm like defis

I don't like Glowshift gauges but people buy cheap parts on their Evos because Evo is a cheap sports car. Have you seen a Ferrari, a Lambo or an Aston Martin running Megan exhaust? Did Mitsu tell you to buy only expensive aftermarket parts when you bought your Evo?
